Star Wars is an American epic space opera multimedia franchise created by George Lucas, which began with the eponymous 1977 film and quickly became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.

The Star Wars franchise depicts the adventures of characters "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", in which humans and many species of aliens (often humanoid) co-exist with robots (typically referred to in the films as 'droids'), who may assist them in their daily routines; space travel between planets is common due to lightspeed hyperspace technology. The planets range from wealthy, planet-wide cities to deserts scarcely populated by primitive tribes. Virtually any Earth biome, along with many fictional ones, has its counterpart as a Star Wars planet which, in most cases, teem with sentient and non-sentient alien life. The franchise also makes use of other astronomical objects such as asteroid fields and nebulae. Spacecraft range from small starfighters, to huge capital ships such as the Star Destroyers, to space stations such as the moon-sized Death Stars. Telecommunication includes two-way audio and audiovisual screens, holographic projections, and HoloNet (internet counterpart).

The universe of Star Wars is generally similar to ours but its laws of physics are less strict allowing for more imaginative stories. One result of that is a mystical power known as the Force which is described in the original film as "an energy field created by all living things ... [that] binds the galaxy together". The field is depicted as a kind of pantheistic god. Through training and meditation, those whom "the Force is strong with" exhibit various superpowers (such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, and manipulation of physical energy). It is believed nothing is impossible for the Force. The mentioned powers are wielded by two major knightly orders at conflict with each other: the Jedi, peacekeepers of the Galactic Republic who act on the light side of the Force through non-attachment and arbitration, and the Sith, who use the dark side by manipulating fear and aggression. While Jedi Knights can be numerous, the Dark Lords of the Sith (or 'Darths') are intended to be limited to two: a master and their apprentice.

Force-wielders are very limited in numbers in comparison to the population. The Jedi and Sith prefer the use of a weapon called a lightsaber, a blade of plasma that can cut through virtually any surface and deflect energy bolts. The rest of the population, as well as renegades and soldiers, use plasma-powered blaster firearms. As a result of galaxy-scaled politics (involving republics, empires, kingdoms, alliances, etc.), all this weaponry is made use of in various military conflicts during which most Star Wars material takes place. In the outer reaches of the galaxy, crime syndicates such as the Hutt cartel are dominant. Bounty hunters are often employed by both gangsters and governments. Illicit activities include smuggling.

I never knew he had a family tradition of being Star Wars actors…. You learn something new every day

[BitigoBlack]

When your Uncle Dennis is freaking Wedge Antilles.

[ahsanzee]

So wait two brothers saw thier uncle play a pilot and one of them became an actor the other became a pilot. That's insanely impactful

[ImThestCoolest]

"Good morning, Mr. McGregor."
"Hello there."

[owaisqarnie]

[Devtryak]

This is why I love Ewan McGregor, like he was so dedicated to Star Wars, and I just respect that dedication

[INSOMNIAREX]

"Good morning, Mr McGregor"
"Who tha fook is that guy" 😂😂 sorry.

[lordkallogaming]

Say what you want about George's writing style, he knew how to treat his staff well and create a wonderful working environment. Look how happy they all are to be working on this!

[galaxyace]

Fun fact: one of Ewan Mcgregor‘s Daughters also had a Cameo in the Kenobi Series.

[Wyrdsmythe]

Wedge Antillies is possibly the greatest understated character in Star Wars.

Involved with so many piviotable moments in Star Wars lore.

I'm blown away by the family connection - that's awesome!

[lostfound]

Really love him. Must admit also seen numerous scenes with George, he rocks

[Doorstoppin]

You can tell george lucas enjoyed seeing the characters come to life

[iAMTrey]

Watched his uncle in a movie, then went on to portray one of the most pivotal characters in the whole damn franchise. That's awesome

[johnpaton]

"look at the size of that thing"
must've left my fly down again

[johannesschreck]

I wish i could watch the prequels for the first time again. Good times, good shit.

[Althar]

McGregor’s acting and charisma is probably the first thing that drew me into star wars and Attack of The Clones was probably my first movie in cinema since being born in 98

[Elangelexterminador]

Two already immortal legends giving themselves a nice and honest "Good morning" ❤❤❤❤

[captainq-ball]

The. Perfect. Casting! No one else on earth could have been better

[mohork]

You were the right man to play the young Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[johnny_eth]
